What you are thinking of is not the opening scene. Opening scene is not even in the same time period.


I sort of give him a pass because I'm sure everyone in this thread knows what he meant and D Day is basically where the movie actually starts.

The cemetary is the movie equivalent of a prologue.

Very, very hard to beat this opening scene. It's jaw-dropping.

Some really great ones already mentioned. I’ll throw The Last Boy Scout in as well.

I've always liked the opening scene of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. Right after the crawl, we are taken right in the middle of a space battle in progress. So much going on..

Nope... Give me Star Wars. Seeing that at 13 years old on the big screen was epic. The chase and capture leading to the droids escaping hooked me like nothing else

Saving Private Ryan is #1.

I’d put The Dark Knight in the top 5 for the opening bank heist though.

Everyone knew what I was referring to when I said SPR for opening scene. I honestly forgot about the grave scene. I am talking about the boats pulling up and American soldiers storming the beach and taking Normandy.

Hard to beat SPR and some of the others listed.

I've always enjoyed the opening scene of Drive.

I know I'm old but damn.

Touch of evil.

It's on Netflix or Amazon prime. Go watch it. If nothing else watch the first opening one continuous shot and then let's talk again.
